Very interesting. I wonder if the reason so many people have been complaining about the ending is because most people have been doing the quests in specific orders which resulted in conflict but you can actually pacify them if you're careful about the order.
Yeah, it all still felt pretty restrictive in some parts and unclear/nonsensical in others. It's tough to get too invested in it when you don't feel like you have much choice in how things play out. The fact that I was able to overcome a few pitfalls definitely helped, but I didn't feel like I was directly in control of that; it was more a fortunate effect of the ordering I worked out for my quests.
Yeah, I'll take it. The game certainly doesn't feel glitched. NPCs behave normally now and reference the actions I've taken as expected, so I think I'm out of the woods on things being broken.
Danse: player deals 20% more damage against irradiated ghouls, mutated humanoids and androids.
Piper: player gets double XP when discovering new places and successful convo. Quadruple if Piper is also with you after you get the perk?
Codsworth: player gets +10 Damage Resistance against robots' energy attacks.
MacReady: player gets 20% greater chance to hit an enemy's head in V.A.T.S.
The rest doesn't seem that appealing to me. Maybe Preston's? But I don't know if I can put up with his whining if I steal something when I can just get armorer Stat.
There is a cheap way to get lots of people to like you. Just send them all to the same place. Ring the bell to get them to all gather around you. Make sure you have Dogmeat with you. Then viciously beat dogmeat in front of everyone with your melee attack until he gets injured then use a stimpack to heal him. Most people will like that. Then sleep for 2 hours and repeat. Its cruel but it works. You need lots of stimpacks though.

Not really. His idolizing stat is related to the main plotline and your ability to charm/convince 2 characters.
Also, you have to be careful with how you proceed your mission towards the end if you don't want him to get angry with you.
I don't think I can do what the 3-4 post before me suggested. But then again, I don't even have the heart to pull tricks on NPC to get more caps. Everyone seems to be dirt poor and barely have anything. Unless they belong to dirty raiders/enemies who try to kill me, I usually don't take someone else's stuff.
Has anyone found a reliable way to find companions on console? I lost Nick, no clue where he could be, and I've had to do some stuff with other companions when I really would have preferred Nick. Really frustrating. and it seems like such an obvious oversight that there's no way to see them on the map or fast-travel to them or something.
I believe he has affinity gains for modifying gear, so you can just save/load to abuse that if you want to build affinity quickly.
As an aside, are random armor drops just generally messed up? I keep getting muffled combat/metal armor even though the modifier does nothing and muffled doesn't seem to be a valid mod for those armor types in the first place.
Same thing with an armor mod. You don't actually have to spend resources as long as the action says 'make something?'
Get into power armor.
You find a million armor and weapon benches as you travel, so if you pop in everytime you see one and take of a modand reattach etc, as well as travel in Power armor, exit it > clear the area > pop back in on your way to the next place, you will have him maxed quick.
Just be warned you need to push the BoS questline to get him to idolize level. You will know it when you're there.
Danse likes it when you get in power armor, so with him questing with me, every time I entered a new area (behind a load screen) I popped out and back into my power armor to get a quick rep up.
It works 9 times out of 10 when you transition zones.

Remember that there is a 2 hour (in game) reset time for someone to like something you do. So dont waste a bunch of chems for no reason to get Cait to like you or whatever it is. They will only like something once every 2 hours.

i have like 67 power at the castle and it's still in the fucking red. all the settlers are complaining about beds even though the indicator says i'm good. i can't tell if i legitimately am drawing a shittonne of power because of the nodes everywhere since i need to route power lines around, or if it's just bugged like shit.

Just a heads up that this only works with Codsworth, Curie, Deacon, Piper, and Valentine.
The rest of the Companions will not care about this apparent animal abuse.

Lol I read about is somewhere when I was looking up how to get different companions to idolize me. I think it was from Reddit. Not sure, dont really remember.

He disappeared for me after doing the quest where you
go into Kellog's memories
in Goodneighbor not long after first meeting Nick. After that quest Nick
briefly channeled Kellog
, which seemed really interesting and I really wanted to take him on the next story mission to see what came of it. I inadvertently met a new companion on the way to the next mission and had to send Nick away. I sent him to Sanctuary, did some side stuff, went to Sanctuary to swap companions, saw Nick there, did more side stuff, and then went back to Sanctuary to grab Nick for the story mission and he's gone.
I turned the town upside down, looked at my other settlements, looked at his office, looked at a few places where he'd accompanied me on quests before, nothing.
This happened with Dogmeat too, in the mission where you
confront Kellog
not long after getting to Diamond City I followed Dogmeat to the quest location and Nick said "Let's let the dog rest here and carry on without him" or something like that. It didn't give me an option to send Dogmeat somewhere or anything, we just left him standing there.
He wasn't there when we got back, and he also wasn't in Sanctuary. I again turned the place upside down, looked in all the dog houses, looked at the diner where you first meet him, etc. Like ten hours of gameplay later I randomly bumped into him in Sanctuary.
So I'm expecting Nick to pop back up at some point too, but it's really frustrating that I can't easily find whichever companion I want at a given time.

Check his office, piper's office and the memory den. Depending where you are in the main story, he hangs out at those locations even if you send him to your settlement.

Wow, that is super cool. The trick to obtain crystal was particularly good; I didn't even know that hatch existed. I get the impression he may not have totally given up, and getting to level 12 is pretty impressive on its own, but yeah, there has to be a way to progress.
I'm currentlly deciding between doing a mission for the Institute or informing the BoS. Teleporting to some kind of Mass Relay will make me an enemy to the BoS for the entire game.
so yeah this scribe escort mission is fucking infuriating. so far he's run straight into a brotherhood battle against super mutants and then procced off that into running straight into a quarry full of raiders like 40 meters away
/edit oh it's a radiant quest. well it can go die in a fire then

That was a pain in my ass haha. Currently on my 2nd playthrough, made me and my girlfriend in the beginning. First playthrough i was myself, now im playing through as her. Playing on survival though with a bunch of mods. Havent gotten far since getting hit 2-3 times kills me.
apart from the idiot scribe that random brotherhood battle was freaking amazing though. Three vertibirds flew in and converged on a random church where like four super mutant masters with miniguns, one legendary, were all firing in every direction as brotherhood knights stormed the building.
god the random stuff is sometimes real cool. Of course halfway through it I saw a super mutant T-pose moving through the air before the physics kicked in properly.
Oh SHIT! My sniper rifle can peel off power armor! Dunno how I never saw the fusion core target before, but I now have an assortment of stolen frames in my collection. Just capped Pickpocket too, will be fun to see if I can save the core next time.
Not that I need more frames. I have enough for everyone in Sanctuary to suit up in case of danger. I almost wish we would be attacked.

What's even cooler is that with the Penetrator Perk in perception you can select the Fusion Core even when you're facing Power Armor user from the front and your bullet will penetrate his/her armor and hit the Core. AWWWW YEAHHHH.
